He was a scientist. He had to be free to investigate ideas and bounce them off other scientists and people he respected. Scientists are responsible for what they publish or make plain in public pronouncements. To search his letters for evidence of conjecture is not to fully understand the process and/or the nature of scientific inquiry. Miller looks even worse for this inability to understand the basics of the process.
